Rating: 5/5Great Product

Pros: Easy install. Literally plug into port and play as long as you wired everything correctly.Arrived on time.Arrived in good packaging with lots of buffering.Personal Order Manager that will keep in contact with you and provide assistance where necessary.

Cons: After ordering took about 3 days for my card to get approved by external company.

Other Thoughts: I believe I waited around 3 days for my card to get approved by Action Packaged but Newegg forewarned about this issue so I was prepared for the wait. You also have a personal order manager that will keep tabs with you on your order and follow up to see if the product arrived in good condition as well as offers assistance. As for the product, it works according to what I needed and has no functioning issues.

Rating: 1/5Overpriced & hobbibly packaged

Cons: I have never seen such horrible packaging for an optical drive. The packing slip claims that the drive is "new" and yet it is packaged like a refurb or used drive. It is also overpriced for a Blu-ray reading drive, especially when you can buy a BR writer for much less. The worst part of this really is the packaging - it was completely unacceptable for electronics such as this. I will NEVER purchase anything from Action Package ever again.

Rating: 4/5Gets the job done (2 Years)

Pros: The drive was installed and rarely used, but when used, generally worked just fine. Easy installation, etc.

Cons: It sometimes had issues with stopping midway through a burning of a CD. However, I think I can pin that on the actual files being burned. After putting them through a format converter, the files would burn just fine.

Rating: 3/5Good

Pros: It works. I didnt need to do anything to get it to work. Win7 64 picked it up instantly. Despite the con, I am content with using this (for a while).

Cons: The 3 eggs is a generous rating. Everything works but in the middle of playing a movie (with cyberlink powerdvdpro) the movie will stutter and pause and the drive will start to spin up. Im guessing it falls into a standyby mode and then needs to catch up with the player. A bummer. This was quite pricey compared to other options.

Other Thoughts: Have it in my PC/HTPC connected to sata 3 (6gbs) port. Video card is a 750Video/sound out via HDMI to yamaha receiver, and then to TV.Cyberlink PowerDvd Pro (trial version)

Rating: 1/5Worst case scenario....

Cons: It consistently will start seeking for no reason (with no disc in) when you boot up the PC and will not stop until you pull the power from the drive itself, shutting down the machine will not stop it (will start again when you power back up)After updating to the newest firmware, it doesn't even work half the time, the BIOS doesn't even see it. Have to rollback to original firmware to get the original issue back.

Other Thoughts: I always trusted LG to make good products but this one was a dude from the beginning.... I wish I would have RMA's it from the start but now it is way past too late and I am stuck with a some thing just better than a paperweight....

Rating: 1/5Junk

Cons: Worked for only a short while. Inserting a DVD it my start-up or it may not. More often NOT. If you could get the DVD spinning, it may abort the read in the middle of the DVD. This happens on all non BD DVDs.

Rating: 2/5when it actually works......

Pros: It reads Blu-ray movies with programs that are not provided. the DVD burner function is fast,

Cons: Constant seek issues.... not sure what else to call it but when I turn on the PC it will just seek nonstop, the only way to stop it is to unplug the power on the back of the drive wait a few secs and plug it back in. It occasionally even happens while trying ti use the drive. I have tried restarting the PC with no luck. I am not sure how to fix this, so it becomes quite useless often, luckily I have 2 other SATA DVD burners I can use. I have flashed the firmware to the latest version it still has this issue.

Other Thoughts: When it works it works great but the problem is, Ihave to leave the side of my pc off all the time so I can unplug and plug this drive back in at least 3 times a week
